Daily News | How do mobile methadone clinics work, and what are Philly’s plans for opening one?
In Woonsocket, taking methadone directly to the encampment helped more people consider treatment as a viable option, said Hurley, the president and CEO of CODAC Behavioral Healthcare, which runs the mobile clinics. But people experiencing homelessness are not the only population the mobile clinic serves: “We have people who work highly visible, highly professional jobs where this is just the easiest way to get their medicine,” she said. “It’s a full range of folks who need us.
“It literally makes me feel ill, how many people may have died while waiting those six months before the service got to them,” she said., saying it was offering medical services in an area not zoned for them. The van is still operating, Hurley said. Officials from Woonsocket’s law department were not immediately available for comment.
